The Campaign for a second referendum is not for a second referendum

[wanton dwarf]

Opinion peice from Conservative Home about the politics behind a second referendum.

"No, the campaign for a second referendum isn’t really a campaign for a second referendum. It’s a campaign for stopping Brexit."

Any second ref should ask exactly the same question.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.

The worst aspect of this 'movement' is that there are actually a lot of decent people who voted Remain who have since accepted the result of what was sold as a 'one time vote' by the Prime Minister at the time and have been actively and positively facing the new situation, being able to see a silver lining to the cloud, as it were.

And yet a shouty minority (with the EU as their role model for such behaviour) are hell-bent on undermining each and every attempt at democratic votes until they get the result they want.

It was the same hypocrisy with the US Elections too:

No point in having 'democracy' or a voting system if every time it doesn't go the way that a certain group of people want, they try and overturn the result.

And the same bus should be wheeled out with the same message. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Putin should use the same bots. Nothing more. Nothing less.

And will there be a third referendum if folks don't like the result of the second ?

 

[Boohoo]

Yes, if best of 3 doesn't work, we go to best of 5, then best of 7 etc etc.

No need for the best of any number...we just repeat until the "correct" answer is returned

If there is to be anything then those who are confused of what a democracy is should have their jobs on the line.

All those who have pushed Remain despite the Leave decision should immediately be fired upon a second Leave result.

No excuses.

oh yes we DID have a second Leave result in the general election didn't we ?!?!

Time has run out for the 'people's vote'. It's August tomorrow.

If you read the article it says that a second referendum is not possible because it would bring down both the Conservatives & Labour.

So the theory is that the propaganda for a "Second Referendum" is in fact a way of delegitamising the vote for Leave to the extent that article 50 is withdrawn thereby saving both the Conservatives & Labour.

Hence propaganda war for 2+ years.

But Mrs May has succeeded in reinvigourating UKIP .. there are other reasons why UKIP is doing well though but don't expect them to be reported.

It is high time for Teresa May and anyone who simply can't grasp the nettle to get out.

I get the impression she was slotted into the PM job quite simply because: 'my turn, I did the spell as Home Sec...'.

She is paralysed by indecision and inactivity and simply must be replaced urgently. You cannot have indecision at such a time as this.
